How did the experience of the army with committees change the balance of the global war on Yemen? What is the secret of its success?

The combat achievement issued by the Yemeni Army with the Popular Committees (the Mujahideen) during the confrontation of the global war led by the United States, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates against Yemen is still a watershed in the science of war and its complex military and strategic concepts.

The tactics, systems and martial techniques shown by the Yemeni fighter during the confrontation are ideal and unprecedented, governed by the element of innovation, accuracy and combative science combining several known fighting styles – classical and guerrilla warfare in the framework of a new combination of interlocking combat science.

Their experience issued during the past five years is one of the most complex and controversial military experiments in traditional and modern military science; despite the great difference between the two sides in this war in the size of armament and advanced military technology and air superiority and huge human quantity, but this experience has achieved an unprecedented success (thankfully) in confronting and breaking the campaigns of aggression’s mercenaries in more than 50 of fighting fronts in southern Yemen and the frontiers with Saudi Arabia.

# Army with committees and combination combat methodical systematic and guerrilla warfare

Perhaps one of the most important military manifestations that have emerged in the behavior of the army and the Popular Committees (the Mujahideen) in the confrontation is their dependence on a mixture of fighting patterns, here are the most famous of these fighting patterns known in modern military schools and primitive:-

Firstly, the regular (traditional) war, which is the result of a military clash between the regular armies of two countries, it is a war that is either colonially motivated or to require new balances of power between the two countries.

Most importantly, it uses various conventional and non-conventional weapons and strategies of power patterns that subjugate the enemy militarily as the model of World War I and II and the Iran-Iraq War.

Secondly: irregular war (guerrilla war), which is the most famous of all types of war, because it depends on the means and manpower less and also on the basic principles contrary to the regular war.

In this type of war, small groups or teams of organized fighters and adopt tactics, operational plans, and strategy based on the factors of long-term confrontation attrition against the regular army till exhausted, and usually these wars waged in the popular resistance against foreign attacks, examples include the Cuban-Vietnamese war and the Iraqi resistance against the US invasion after 2003.

Thirdly, the war of terrorist associations, the Mafia war, and the war of criminal groups, which are modern patterns of philosophy in the science of wars that may resemble guerrilla warfare to some extent in their methods and principles.

It differs from guerrilla warfare in the size of human quantity and military means and the nature of operational objectives drawn.

The war of terrorist associations is very few in compared to irregular war, the military tactics adopted by these groups are based on terrorism and confusion of the enemy with small offensive operations causing damages to his powers over time.

The experience of the Yemeni army with the popular committees was a new combination based on the principles and tactics including the elements of regular and irregular war at the same time,

In other words, it confronts and violates the enemy army as gangs do, defend, attack, and liberate the ground, so this rich experience of martial techniques cannot be attached to any known combat school but has its own and its concepts and organization in the modern military science.

The secret of this experiment success

Perhaps the question that puzzled experts till today is the secret of the power and success of the Yemeni fighter’s experience in breaking the largest known global war, according to researchers and analysts that the main and most important pillar behind this strength and success of the experience of the Yemeni army with popular committees lies in the firm belief that is born determination and will to victory, as well as rely on Allah Almighty for everything, and considering Allah as the only one cause of victory.

They (the Mujahideen) also acted according to the guidance of a brave and wise Quranic leadership that can take strategic decisions that are balanced and compatible with what the confrontation paths and what the theater of conflict with the enemy requires in different circumstances and with all the variables that may occur.
